Baton Rouge "Shake Your Soul" LP
- First time ever on LP in North America

This 1990 debut record from Louisiana band Baton Rouge is something of a melodic hard rock masterpiece that got overshadowed by the emerging grunge sound of the early 1990s.
Produced by early Bon Jovi collaborator Jack Ponti, Shake Your Soul packed a formidable one-two songwriting punch in the persons of guitarist/lead vocalist Kelly Keeling (Michael Schenker Group, Trans-Siberian Orchestra) and lead guitarist/vocalist Lance Bulen (Kingbaby, Puzzle Gut), who (together with Ponti and associate producer Vic Pepe) crafted some amazing songs.
In spite of the changing tide of the public's musical taste, the album still managed to produce one charting single, ("Walks Like A Woman"), and ultimately topped out at #160 on the U.S. Billboard Top 200.
